Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. Xie Feng reaffirmed China's commitment to principled diplomacy with Washington during a high-profile business gala this week, balancing sincerity with firm stances on sovereignty and security. Speaking at the China General Chamber of Commerce-USA (CGCC) event on Thursday, Xie emphasized: "When it comes to major issues bearing on our sovereignty, security, and development interests, there is no room for compromise." 🎙️
The ambassador highlighted the 2025 Busan meeting between Chinese and U.S. leaders as a foundation for progress, urging both nations to "expand cooperation lists" while addressing obstacles. Over 300 business leaders attended the event, where Xie called for "two-way, mutually beneficial partnerships" and criticized U.S. restrictions on Chinese enterprises. 💼
Michael Franco of Vornado Realty Group praised Sino-U.S. business ties, citing "professionalism and shared commitment to long-term success" with Chinese partners. The CGCC—a key bridge for cross-Pacific business since 2005—also honored companies driving economic and cultural exchanges. 📈
Xie reiterated China's focus on high-standard globalization, declaring: "An ever-developing, increasingly open China will bring more opportunities to the world." 🌍✨
